El documento resume la era Paleolítica, que abarcó desde hace 2.5 millones de años hasta hace 10,000 años. Durante este período, los humanos vivían una vida nómada de caza y recolección, usando principalmente herramientas de piedra. Hace unos 100,000 años, comenzaron a producir las primeras manifestaciones artísticas como pinturas rupestres en cuevas. La sociedad paleolítica estaba formada por grupos pequeños unidos por lazos familiares.
La Prehistoria es el período desde la aparición de los primeros humanos hace 2.5 millones de años hasta la aparición de la escritura hace unos 5,500 años. Durante este tiempo, los homínidos evolucionaron desde seres similares a los simios con cerebros pequeños como los Australopithecus hasta convertirse en Homo sapiens a través de un proceso llamado hominización que incluyó caminar erguidos, manos con pulgares separados y aumento del tamaño cerebral. La arqueología estudia los restos materiales dejados

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
